FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Engorgement Unleash Brutal New Album They Rot Beneath Our Floor – Out March 20 via Comatose Music
UK slam/ brutal death metal outfit Engorgement are set to unleash their long awaited second full length album, They Rot Beneath Our Floor , on March 20, 2026. Packed with crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and merciless percussion, the record marks the band’s triumphant return more than a decade after their debut full length, the pulverizing Excruciating Intestinal Lacerations .
Formed in 2009 in Andover, England, Engorgement began when longtime friends Rich and Stu started writing the heaviest music they could imagine in their bedrooms. Raised in the chaos of the early 2000s skate and gig culture, their mission was simple: create the most brutally unforgiving sound possible. After earlier projects like Gore Sanctum and Disgorged Prolapse, the duo reset and forged Engorgement as their ultimate sonic weapon.
Taking inspiration from legends like Devourment , Dying Fetus , and Suffocation , the band crafted a sound built on crushing groove driven riffs, cavernous gutturals, relentless drumming, and an unapologetically savage atmosphere. Over the years, while members have shifted, founding forces Rich and Stu have remained the driving core. Stu now commands vocals after originally playing guitar on the band’s first release, while Rich continues to anchor the low end with bass and backing vocals.
Drummer Mitch Rider joined the band for the recording of their debut album in 2012 before later spending time performing with Kraanium . Returning to Engorgement in 2024, Rider helped drive the creation of the band’s devastating new record. In 2025 guitarist Rick Hill completed the lineup, bringing an aggressive style that perfectly complements Engorgement’s signature brutality.
The result is They Rot Beneath Our Floor , a grotesque and punishing descent into sonic carnage.
The album opens with the eerie atmosphere of “ Prelude To Your Dismemberment” and closes with the ominous “ Outro,” framing a barrage of crushing brutality in between. Tracks like “ Sanctum Of Gore” deliver titanic waves of filth paired with flesh shredding bursts of speed, while “ Complete Bowel Extraction” plunges listeners into a suffocating storm of grotesque imagery and savage instrumentation. Meanwhile “ Unmerciful Redemption” tests endurance with its relentless assault of bone shattering riffs and punishing tempo shifts.
Mixed and mastered by Floor Van Kuijk of Korpse at GLDCHN Studios, the album boasts a raw, festering power that perfectly captures Engorgement’s unhinged intensity.
Known for their relentless live performances, Engorgement have carved a reputation across Europe with appearances at festivals including Deathfeast, Nice To Eat You, Slamming Brutality, Incineration Fest, Eradication Fest, and UK Slam Fest. With a packed 2026 show schedule ahead and the release of They Rot Beneath Our Floor , the band is poised to unleash utter carnage upon the global slam scene.
When They Rot Beneath Our Floor erupts on March 20 through Comatose Music , fans of extreme brutality should prepare themselves. Engorgement are coming… and there’s always room beneath their floorboards.

Next month, the giddy Albany pop-punk crew Prince Daddy & The Hyena will release their new album Hotwire Trip Switch. They recorded it with their longtime producer Joe Reinhart, a member of Hop Along and Algernon Cadwallader, and they’re calling it their “singles” record. Lead single “Big-Box Store Heart” is indeed extremely catchy, and now…

The British “slacker twang” band Brown Horse announced their album Total Dive in January, and now it’s almost here. They’ve since followed lead single “Twister” with opening track “Sorrow Reigns.” Today they add one more preview, “Wreck.” Although the group’s handy genre descriptor suggests they’re imbibing our nation’s Wednesday/Lenderman supply and selling it back to…

Where they from?
Washington D.C. Last Sunday was the Oscars. I hadn’t seen any of the movies nominated and FanDuel wouldn’t let me bet on any of it so I switched over to watch the Seattle Kraken beat the Florida Panthers. You are now talking to the winner of a freshly minted $30 because. You can refer to me as Sir Money Bags from now on.

Why the hype?
No/Más have been churning out their ferocious blend of grind, hardcore and death metal for nearly a decade now! Such a pleasure to watch this band grow under our very eyes, they grow up so fast! The band’s sound continues to evolve the dirty and rapacious first EP Raiz Del Mal to the tight and kinetic most recent full-length No Peace, which features twisted blends of mind-period Napalm Death and Machine Head-style breakdowns that make every track a rollercoaster…OF DEATH!

Latest Release?
No Peace on Redefining Darkness, which you can acquire right here. This is definitely my favorite production of this band’s discography, everything is razor-tight with ultra-burly vocals and a nice definitive bass tone to add a sense of heft to the mayhem. The band pulls deep from its bag of tricks here with memorable melodic passages on ‘Leech’ and the stunning Decapitated-style bombast of ‘Act of Killing.’ This is one of the most complete albums of this young year and certain to end up on a plethora of best of 2026 lists. Sir Money Bags approves.
